Talk:Edward G. Walker

Charlestown
I'm unable to find a reliable source for this info - and it's definitely not the original cited source, which showed them living on Southac in Beacon Hill by 1848. And, the places that I found on the internet are unreliable or based their info on this article.


 * In the early 1840s, Alexander, Eliza, and her son Edwin, moved from Southac Street on the north side of Beacon Hill to Charlestown near the Bunker Hill Monument and next door to equal rights and justice activists Thomas and Lucy Dalton.

It's interesting, does anyone have a reliable source for this info?-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 21:25, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hawaii
Does anyone have a source for this: Alexander Dewson arrived in Massachusetts from Hawaii in the 1830s,

In scouting around:
 * Alexander's estate received an inheritance in Alex's name from William H. Boardman who was a successful global trader / merchant (if I'm understanding correctly).
 * There's some mention that Alexander had been a sailor - so perhaps he had been in Hawaii on a sailing trip.

Any help would be great!-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 21:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Request for rewording
In the Early life section, the following phrase doesn't make sense: "...and she lost in this very city, when a man of color dies, if he owned any real estate it most get the home." Could someone please reword this so it conveys its intended meaning? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 13:30, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
